Home is Where the Heart is

Whether you are looking for a view of beautiful lakes, horses, or golf courses, the Leesburg area has the home for you. The recent boom in residential development has resulted in a variety of housing options, prices, and styles to choose from.

At the turn of the century, successful people left small towns and moved to the city. In the 1950s, they moved to the suburbs. But today, the process has come full circle as people return to their roots, seeking out those smaller communities with their tree-lined streets, friendly shopkeepers and small governments.

They’re looking for a place like Leesburg in Lake County. With an affordable cost of living, low crime rate, low population density and abundant outdoor activities, it’s easy to understand the attraction of this charming yet growing community.

Whether you are looking for new construction in a master-planned community or an older home in an established neighborhood, housing in Leesburg is a real bargain. The average price of a comfortable three-bedroom, two-bath home in an established neighborhood is $90,000, while new manufactured homes range from $60,000 to $90,000 plus lot rent. Homes in a site-built community range from $90,000 to $300,000, including the home site.

Homes in Leesburg are built with the finest materials; most new home buyers prefer their home to be site-built using masonry block construction. Many of the new communities offer amenities such as state-of-the-art recreational facilities, walking trails, swimming pools, tennis courts and even a library. A full-time director coordinates an array of cultural and recreational activities for residents. Most communities provide yard maintenance and safety gates, ensuring that the homes of seasonal residents will be safely cared for during their absence.

Since their arrival in Lake County in 1913, the Pringle family has earned a reputation as one of Lake County’s most highly regarded residential developers. When Frederick Pringle and partners began developing Silver Lake Estates and the adjacent Golf and Country Club, the Pringle legacy was born in this area. After a hiatus in which the family concentrated on the cattle business, the Pringles returned to development in 1981.
